Publisher's Summary
Soon to be a major television event from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland.
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

A great read that did bring me to tears
A very sad story but a must read. It shows you how hard life must have been during this time of war and as you follow this young man through some very dangerous and life threatening situations you see the ugliness but also the good in people.

Extraordinary!
The best war story I’ve ever heard. The most heartbreaking love story I’ve ever read. And Pino Lella is the bravest man I’ve ever known. A breathtakingly beautiful visual of Italy, war torn and all. Mark Sullivan is a master writer, one of the most brilliant books ever written I say. And Will Damron’s narration is outstanding! I wish every audible book was narrated by him. This story will stay with me forever...

Amazing story and in the telling
Brilliantly written story of great historical interest but so very heartbreaking. The protagonist is overwhelmingly brave but still through no fault of his own , gies through a pivotal awful moment in time that haunts him forever . It’s beyond courageous to still be able to carry on.

In short.
Beautiful and inspirational. Have what it takes competing in a class where novels like, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT and THE HIDING PLACE touch your heart and mind. The story gives your mind wings transferring it to a another time and place.
